(A) The relationship between FP and LOC depends on the programming language used to implement the software.
(B) LOC requirement for an assembly language implementation will be more for a given FP value, than LOC for implementation in COBOL
(C) On an average, one LOC of C++ provides approximately 1.6 times the functionality of a single LOC of FORTRAN
(D) FP and LOC are not related to each other


Answer: (A)

For example, COBOL may requires about 105 statements per Function Point and php only 67.
